What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling one 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 vehicle. The engine hood may not have been installed properly.

The risk

In the event of a crash, the hood could make contact with the windshield, entering the passenger compartment and increasing the risk of an injury.

The remedy

DVUSA will notify the owner, and a dealer will replace the engine hood, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 18, 2021. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267. DVUSA's number for this recall is VS3SCHAUBE.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
